Arcane Order recruitment thread mark. II
« on: September 15, 2003, 10:48:04 pm »
Jeh, i think it\'s time to make second AO recruitment thread for AO. The old one was a bit full of off-topic jokes and at 180 posts getting too long for anyone to read through. So here goes AO Recruit Mark II ....

Arcane Order is a guild for mages and wizards. All races in Yliakum are accepted as members, the only requirement is that the player\'s character will practice magic.

Arcane Order has 9 ranks  and 3 branches . Also it covers all 6 ways of Magic  in Yliakum with a Council Member overseeing the practice of Magic in each of these. The 6 member Council is the Authoritative body of AO and makes decissions by consensus and/or majority vote.

The 3 branches are :

  • Spellsword  - This branch is for fighters who practice magical skills to aid in combat, thus Fighter/Mages. Our spellswords are our protection, the threat of their revenge serves to keep our guild at peace and Spellsword will protect fellow members on quests etc.
  • NightBlade  - This branch is for rogues who use magic to aid improve their stealth, spying, stealing, backstabbing etc. (you know, the stuff rogues usually do). They are thus Rogue/Mages. Nightblades serve as AO\'s eyes and ears, they provide us the necessary intelligence and subversive capability we need to survive in a dangerous world.
  • Warlock  - This branch is for our pure mages, who will mainly practice their magical abilities. The Warlock branch is the mainstay of Mages that make Ao the Mage guild that it is, however all three branches have equal status and are equally important to AO.
More info about all our branches, the ranking system, membership policy and AO in general can be found on our homepage.

About the ranking system can be said that all new member start out as an apprentice. There is a minimum of 3 weeks trial period for Apprentices during which time we get to know the new member and guage his/her commitment, activity and suitability as member of AO.
An active and committed member that \"gels\" well with the other members will be promoted to the rank of Adept according to merit. All promotion decission are made by Council.

The second promotion opportunity will allow the member to choose one of the 3 branches named above, i.e. SpellSword, NightBlade or Warlock.

And it might also wanted to be taken to mind that we are disucussing invitation only members, meaning if you were debating joining, you might want to do so soon.

Newest member - VeNoM

This is to announce yet a new member for AO. VeNoM has just joined our ranks, a warm welcome to you. Make yourself at home, VeNoM, we will take good care of you  :D

To all AO members the order has been decreed, take VeNoM in and make our newest member feel right at home!

I confirm what Druke has said above, for every new member we are getting closer to the possibility of AO closing recruitment on a voluntary basis and changing it to a Invitation-only mode. We want to structure the order well and make sure that all our members are well networked. At the rate that members are streaming in we might need to close the free-for-all recruitment policy.

So this is NOT a drill, repeat ......
ahem, I mean..... this is NOT just a recruitment publicity stunt, repeat .......

If you are seriously considering joining AO hurry up, before it might be too late. ;(

Boy!  you talking about me... boy!

Edit: no seriously - the Arcane Order is the only Magical Guild in all of Yliakum at this point and we are proud of the extremely loyal fanbase that we have so far recruited into our ranks.  So if you intend to stick around with Planeshift until the forseen end-date (I think the common forecast is around when either Tucks the Linux Penguin dies or the Chinese invade Turkey) then the Arcane Order is the right guild for you.  Remember although we strongly emphasize on magic, one does not have to be a pure mage.  My character for example is a kran warrior, who is the devoted (if thickheaded) bodygaurd of Illyria the White.

My God, I\'m only ill for 10 days and our members go nuts!

Don\'t worry, Mommy is back and will teach the Mad Mumblin\' Englishman  and our New Mad Mumbling Monk  to talk \"sense\"  about \"in-cense\" and \"cents\"  for their money\'s worth \"since\"  none of us others that have our \"senses\"  in place can understand in what \"sense\"  of the word their \"s(ent)ences\" should make any \"sense\"  to the rest of us  8o  :D

Btw Deos, nice to see a new member active here eventhough we don\'t have a clue what your on about  :P  

For any other poor ppl reading this thread it IS about recruitment for new members to AO. Right now we are displaying how much fun we have in AO. Also this is a test, if you get scared away by Mad Mumblers, be they Englishmen or Monks (no real difference there  8o ), you are not fit to be an AO member. A Mage needs to be able to concentrate on chanting his spells no matter how bad the background noise and distractions are  :P
